Oh. Oh now this is the sort of stuff I like to see, Sev Cosplay. It reminds me of an important time in my life…
The last time I ventured to Hoenn was a journey I will never forget. It was a long, lazy summer full of friends and adve... read

Sexy Nintendo is inevitable. Some will try to fight it, or even mock it. In doing so, they are choosing to live on the wrong side of history. I know how they feel. I scoffed along with the rest of them back when the burgeoning "Sexy Luigi ... read

Koubutsuya is helping Bayonetta lovers make a fashion statement with these hot new earrings which are an exact replica of Cereza's. The company is known for its quality reproductions of anime items aimed at adults who desire sophistication ... read

Come for the pole-dancing Bigby Wolf cosplay (1:26), stay for the "Walk the Dinosaur" remix.
The video's title is accurate -- "The Really Long Dragon Con 2014 Video," indeed -- but it's Beat Down Boogie. If I can make it through the whole ... read

[Update: Contest over! Random winner is jondier. Thanks to all who participated! Those are some good looking costumes :)]
Do you like dressing up for Halloween? I sure do! In fact, just a few years ago I went as Princess Peach. I was SO bea... read

If you live in the Pacific Northwest, perhaps you attended the fifth annual Portland Retro Gaming Expo which took place the weekend before last. If you didn't, well -- here's a lovely pile of photos that the talented Geoffrey Smith II was k... read

There's a guy here with such serious cosplay game that, dressed as Nicholson's Joker from Burton's Batman, he actually has three cosplay henchmen behind him. I don't think I could ask three friends to cosplay as my underlings. Maybe he pai... read

Those Sora shoes at 30 seconds. The coolest, grossest thing. Also, we need some new filming techniques for cosplay videos beyond "slow mo, then drop the bass and spin around people a bunch." Where's the Citizen Kane of cosplay videos,... read

I doubt I'll ever attend Dragon Con, what with my inability to be in two places at once and PAX falling on the same weekend, but the cosplay photos and videos are always a treat.
We were on the scene for another photo round-up. My favorites... read

San Diego Comic-Con is the biggest convention for all things geek in the world. A ton of cosplay happens at this show -- even celebrities cosplay! Mostly to hide from the public though.
But hey, here's a couple of montages with a goo... read

San Diego Comic-Con has no shortage of special events to keep con-goers' schedules completely packed. Videogame publishers find the show a perfect opportunity to get their up-and-coming titles in front of a massive audience. 2K's taking adv... read

I don't know half these characters, which is fine. I'm mostly perplexed as to why a bunch of these flamboyant, superhero-looking characters are carrying assault rifles. Why does Spawn need a gun? Lots of Deadpool takes, of course. Steam pu... read

We've featured plenty of cosplay videos and pictures on Destructoid in the past, but this is the first time we're seeing a cosplay convention taking place at a freaking waterpark! Colossalcon takes place over in Ohio, and on top of it bein... read

MCM London Comic Con is the big convention for those in London, and we have TWO cosplay montages for you all to get a little taste of the great costumes that go on over there.
The first video above is a slow motion take, with videogame cha... read

I have to admit that I'm not a huge fan of Deadpool. It's not that I dislike his humor or self-aware, fourth-wall breaking schtick. Rather, it's that I feel too few people can actually utilize said schtick into anything interesting. Too of... read

You know the drill by now. When BeatDownBoogie makes a cosplay montage you stop what you're doing and enjoy the showcase. This time the gang went to MomoCon in Atlanta to see all the cosplay creations people came up with.
There's Mega Man,... read

Beat Down Boogie went to Katsucon 2014 and as always, have captured a ton of great cosplay on video. The usual mix is present. You got your Zelda cosplayers, a bunch of Master Chiefs, Mass Effect characters, and so on.
My favorite moment i... read

Are you an artist? And a Diablo fan? Well, you might be just the right person to get in on the Diablo III: Reaper of Souls fan art contest. They have more than $9,000 in prizes lined up, including a trip to Blizzard HQ to meet the artists a... read

First we were treated by cosplayer Kelly Jean's amazing Quiet recreation that was so good you had to do a double take to see which one was the real image. Now continuing the Metal Gear Solid V cosplay goodness is RBF, taking cosplay to the ... read

There's nothing else going on this New Year's Eve eve so I thought I'd let you in on what I'm doing this morning.
I've been looking at cosplay photos from this winter's otakufest, Comiket 85, which is running from December 29-31, ... read

With the end of another major convention, comes the obligatory cosplay showcase video. In true fan form, the costumes continue to amaze. Cosplay stars Jessica Nigiri, Monika Lee, and Vanessa Vancleef also make an appearance.
For the costum... read

Back in September, Hideo Kojima tweeted that he was making Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's Quiet "more erotic" to entice cosplay. He shared designs of the character's backside and almost seemed to taunt would-be cospla... read
